TV Recommendations

I've got some brit based TV for your TV viewing consideration. It's not the usual BBC export stuff.

Black Mirror

There's been two seasons so far. 3 one hour episodes each. All self contained episodes. Each episode has nothing to do with the other episodes. Each show explores an aspect of emerging social trends and often technological possibilities. This show is a psychological horror show. And it's fucking awesome.
It comes from the mind of Charlie Brooker, who you may already be familiar with from this Youtube clip:

To attempt to get you into Black Mirror, here's a clip from the first episode of season 1. In this two minute clip, you see part of the first five minutes of the episode, where the premise of the psychological horror gets under way. Honestly, you won't see the dark direction they choose to go down coming, but you'll certainly love it. :D

The Following.

Kevin Bacon is awesome in this show. And the show is pretty damn tense, too. Bacon is an ex-FBI agent who's asked to consult when a serial killer he once caught escapes. They did out the killer has created an online cult and is helped by others.

I'm rather enjoying House of Cards. Kevin Spacey is great. It's like The West Wing meets a cynical motherfucker.
If you're into politics and the inner workings of the administration, go for it.
